How do I hire video editors and filmmakers on TMS?

Post a brief describing the work. TMS matches video editors and filmmakers whose skills fit; you compare short paid pitches or hire directly, pay a deposit into escrow to start and the final payment once you approve.

How are creatives vetted?

A person reviews every account before it opens. Each creative’s profile shows their skills, portfolio and reviews, and you see a short paid pitch before you commit.

What is a paid pitch?

A short sample task that lets a few creatives show the exact skills your brief needs. It is paid, and it is never the real job.

How does payment work?

Through Stripe. You pay a deposit to start and a final payment to close; the money is held in escrow between the two and paid out to the creative per phase.

You set the budget in your brief. Signing up and posting a brief are free.
